Many believe absolute right is as elusive as absolute wrong. What we call “right” often depends on what benefits the majority, while “wrong” is measured by the harm it inflicts on them. Before Jesus’ crucifixion, the High Priest Caiaphas unwittingly voiced this very logic, arguing that it was better for…

A problem can be defined in many ways, but the simplest recipe is to replace the truth with a lie. Telling the truth is often undesirable, yet it is the only thing that can truly eliminate problems. Jesus’ teachings revealed that knowing the truth may bring challenges, but it is…

Some perceive Africa as cursed because of negative portrayals, but that is far from the truth. Jesus the liberator is embraced across the continent just as He is anywhere else, showing there is no ground to associate Africa with evil. Many have spoken out against the misuse of religion, and…

Human beings are unlike anything else in the physical universe. Everything bound to the material world is destined to fade, for it was never designed to endure forever. This stands in stark contrast to spiritually driven pursuits embraced by those who recognize themselves as God’s children—to whom nothing can ultimately…

Ignorance remains the greatest barrier to unlocking humanity’s extraordinary potential.

But when a government descends into lawlessness, perhaps through state capture, right becomes confused with left, and left with right. Breaking fundamental…

Everyone alive today has felt the ache of losing someone they love. Death is both the most feared and the most common thread in human experience—a paradox that makes it one of the most profitable industries on earth. Funeral directors play a pivotal role; without them, the grieving would be…

Few things feel as satisfying as winning the approval of others. Many worthy projects fail for no other reason than a lack of encouragement and endorsement. Without support, people begin to doubt whether their ideas can ever be workable. Some never even get the chance to present their vision, while…

When the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy that aspiring to be an overseer was a noble goal, he echoed a sentiment that could just as easily describe a politician drawn by a desire to bring order out of chaos. Good and bad pastors exist; so do good and bad politicians.…

The difference between Heaven and Earth isn’t primarily always about location. For instance, when the apostle Paul recounted his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-7), he spoke of having been caught up to the “third heaven” (2 Corinthians 12:1-4). Once a fierce persecutor of the Church, he…
